Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1126252A2] Level gauge for a vehicle fuel tank has two pivoting measurement value generators or sensors, coupled to a signal recorder, whose position on the signal recorder is determined using a moving signal generator. The first measurement value generator is connected to the moving signal generator, while the second signal value generator is connected to the signal recorder. Ideally the second signal value recorder and the measurement signal recorder are mechanically fixed to the housing of the measurement recorder. The signal recorder can be a variable resistance path of a rotating potentiometer, a Hall sensor etc., while the moving signal generator is the slider of the potentiometer or the Hall sensor.
